purple-facebook's Issues

Support for facebook tor .onion server

Facebook has an official onion server, please add support for it.

Some received links don't appear at all

Hello!
When someonte sends me a link to something it doesn't appear at all. With one exception: links to photos on facebook („https://scontent-cdg2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/....” stuff).

Certain characters not sending correctly.

I really appreciate how quickly this fix came out, but I'm having some issues.

When I type certain characters like " or > or < into the chat, they appear on Facebook as " and > and < respectively. Not sure which characters cause this, but these are the ones I've encountered so far.

I'm using Windows 8.1 64 and Pidgin 2.10.11

Protocol not showing in Add Account dropdown

DLLs have been added to plugins directory, but the new Facebook protocol is not showing after restarting Pidgin and I'm unable to add a new account. Using release "purple-facebook-4098e875ebcb".

Sending messages when offline

[It's quite possible I misunderstand something about Pidgin or about the plugin, in which case apologies (and thanks very much for this plugin, which I found just after Facebook turned off my XMPP access).]

When a friend is offline, my messages are saved as pounces. But this is not necessary for the Facebook protocol: they can and should be sent immediately.

(I am using the Offline Message Emulation plugin, so one other possibility is that this is interacting in a bad way with a protocol that doesn't need it?)

Releases debian packages

Hello,

Please consider create a deb package as release. I believe that this may be helpful for ordinary Ubuntu users who will lose access to chat Faceboook.

You can do it easily by checkinstall.

Here is package: http://files.jawne.info.pl/public_html/2015/07/12_00:52:07
Here is log of that:

$ sudo checkinstall

No matches for $.represented_profile.id

I tried setting up an account. I used my email address as my username. I also tried using my facebook username in the username. I get this error:

No matches for $.represented_profile.id

What have I done wrong?

Failed to read fixed header.

i get that error in every 5 minutes and it disconnects

Invalid HTTP response code (500)

Using the provided Facebook library comes back with this error. Thoughts?

Came to the project from: https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/16701

offline messages are not retrieved

Purple-facebook does not seem to retrieve offline messages that arived between disconnects.

scrinario:
user A send message to user B
user A disconnects
user B send reply
user A reconnects

user A does not see message sent by user B

hg - 305f27dd23c0
git - cfbfc9c

Invalid username or password?

I'm probably missing something obvious but there's no combination of setting that lets me actually log in. I have tried my E-mail and username for the login and I have tried both my normal password and made an app password.

• Do I need to give the app password a specific name for it to work?
• Do I even need to use an app password at all?
• Is the username or E-mail more reliable? Does it make a difference at all?

It simply says "[account name] disabled Incorrect username or password."

Update: It seems I (somehow?) had three facebook Plugins. One was Facebook (XMPP) and I had two identified only as "facebook". Apparently I've been trying the wrong one this entire time. Please close this.

IM notification sounds still played when away

My pidgin is configured to only make sounds on received IMs when "available" - but the FB plugin doesn't seem to obey this and I get sounds when away.

Carriage return replaced by `<br>`

Hello, when i send a message with some carriage return (ctrl + Enter), the carriage return charater is replaced by a <br> tag.

Hi, this is my error with autoreconf: not found
But I do not know how to resolve that... :-(

A little help ? :-)

Formated URL

Hello when facebook format an url adding a thumbnail to it, no message is received on Pidgin.

Exemple

Add facebook contacts to a new group by default

When you add the new facebook account to pidgin it automatically added all my facebook friends to a group called "buddies", instead of its own group called "facebook friends". Please change the default behaviour.

There is no mention in the relevant readme.md required for packages

It is advisable to indicate the need to install the system packages.
Or display more informative labels on the right if there is no error packages.

sudo apt-get install mercurial meld
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libjson-glib-dev
sudo apt-get install pidgin-dev

Ignoring Server Side Groups

Just installed the Plugin, all looks good so far.

Would it be possible to add an option to ignore the "Buddies" group and instead use my client-side groups? I like to use Pidgin as an integrated messenger so would like all accounts to appear under a single contact, e.g. if the user has Google, ICQ and Facebook accounts I would like to have it all appear under the same contact.

Before Facebook decided to drop XMPP I had it kind of working (not always reliable admittedly!) under XMPP using the xmpp-ignore-groups plugin.

Another HTTP Error, Timing Out

Pidgin complains "unknown http error"

Debug log says its a timeout.

Segfault when one tries to join an existing group chat

When one tries to join an existing group chat using Tool -> Room List, segfault occurs.
Back trace is in the following URL:

The plugin does not reconnect after network disruption

Purple-facebook does not seem to reconnect back to Facebook automatically, after the computer loses Internet connection and reconnect back. My other IM networks get reconnected automatically, e.g. XMPP and purple-whatsapp. I don't know if this is an expected behaviour or a bug.

Unknown HTTP error

I have an error since yesterday and now I can't connect to the chat, I only have this error when I go through my vpn:

Received images don't appear as links, like in the late official facebook plugin.

HTTP error and Fixed header error.

all i get is HTTP error and Fixed header error every second.

don't know if this a bug of this plugin..

If I'm adding someone new to my Facebook contact and I start chatting with it, I see the contact name as a long number, not a name and I also don't see him on the contact list. The only way to "fix" it is to log off and log on again

Allow offline messages

It seems offline messages are only available as a pounce through Pidgin. Facebook does actually have the capability to send messages to people while they're offline at which point it'll generally send them some sort of notification, e-mail, push or whatever, so it is beneficial to be able to send messages to offline friends.

Can't connect

Hi,
I can't connect to my facebook account,
I try with my email, my facebook email, but it do not work :-(

no photo support :(

it says non displayable attachment each time someone sends me a picture

Messages are not marked as read on Facebook.

If I have a conversation in Pidgin, then go to Facebook, all the messages I received are marked as unread.

Amazing plugin, by the way!

Password re-entry during disconnects

I am using version 305f27dd23c0

I've had to re-enter the password and I have checked save password. If I disable the account, and then re-enable, I have to re-enter. I know that the credentials are stored in the keyring. If I lose connection to the internet, and its restored, I am forced to re-enter the password. Is there a fix for this on the horizon?

Extraneous HTML formatting sent to users

Pidgin 2.10.11
Latest built Windows binary of libfacebook available

I haven't had any issues with receiving messages from others, but messages sent out to Facebook/its users sometimes get extraneous formatting on them.

For instance, I can type "This is a quoted text" in Pidgin and it will appear on the Facebook log/to other Facebook users as

&quotThis is a quoted text&quot
with semicolons left out so GitHub will display it

Also, & appears as &amp

I do not have any conversation formatting settings on in the chat window. I am not using "Use font from theme" in Default Formatting, but this likely has nothing to do with it, anyway. I just have a font and a font size set as many normal users probably do. There aren't any workarounds inside Pidgin to fix this as I know of- it simply needs parsed out somehow or interpreted correctly.

FB Contact list not being retrieved

I installed the plugin to replace the FB XMPP protocol and so far it is working well ... BUT ... it does not retrieve my FB contact list ... as such ... I can only reply to messages ... unless I lookup the FB users full userid and use New Instant Message ... which is more trouble than using FB to send the message

OS: Windows 7 PRO SP1 ... latest Patchset

Pidgin version : 2.10.11

Instructions followed for plugin installation

Has anyone run into this?

Display message sent from the other clients of the same user

Currently if I send messages from a different client, e.g. the web interface, these messages do not show up in Pidgin. However they do show up on the mobile client. I suspect the mobile client either poll the server for new messages, or get those messages pushed in. I wonder if you can implement this feature in Pidgin. This feature would be helpful so the conversations across different clients are synced.

I think this feature enhancement request applies to bitlbee-facebook too. For Bitlbee, you could use the idea in http://wiki.znc.in/Privmsg or http://wiki.znc.in/Privmsg_prefix.

Invalid certificate

On login Pidgin displays bunch of popups with message:
"The certificate for fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net could not validated. The certificate chain presented is invalid."

Then my contacts are show in list and I can chat with them, but this mass popup invasion is annoying.

Loging in when 2-factor is in use ?

What's the proper procedure to log in when 2 factor is in use ?

Application specific passwords don't seem to work.

Instead I log-in once with the website password.

Pidgin then shows a message box telling me : "Login approvals are on. Expect an SMS shortly with a code to use for log in (406)"

SMS arrives "Use {a 6 digit number} as your password for Facebook Messenger for Android".

But with that password I only get an error message:

":1:1048577: Parse error: scanner: unterminated string constant"

Server closed the connection

Hello,

Since about two days I'm facing issue with connecting to FB chat via pidgin - I'm getting something like "connection closed by server".
I was using for many months till now and it was working fine, nothing was modified. Just two days ago it crashed :(

I have it configured in that way:

"
Protocol: XMPP
Username: xyz (This might not be the username that you enter at facebook login page - But the one which you see on your timeline link - https://www.facebook.com/xyz)
Domain: chat.facebook.com
Resource: Pidgin (this is what is missing most of the time)
Password: xyx

On the advanced tab:
Connect port: 5222
Connect server: chat.facebook.com
"

I know that the same issues has few my friends :(

Many thanks and regards,
Maciej

Infinite scrollback of server-side logs

I know the API supports it, but would it be feasable to implement a messenger history that could be loaded through the API interface? It would be nice if we could have some backscroll that might have occurred while using our android messenger apps, or the web messaging interface.

can't connect

Hello, since friday I can't connect with the facebook chat from Pidgin. Unexpectedly it stays kind connecting and about 1 minute after pidgin says: "server closed the connection", i asked to many friends and they have the same problem. Could you help me please?

quotes are sent html-encoded to receipient

I typed a sentence that said 3/8" and it came out 3/8"

Stupid mistake

I missed the "make install" step because of the layout of the instructions, and couldn't figure out why my plugin wouldn't show up ...

No matches for $.data[0].fql_result_set[0].sync_sequence_id

Trying to enable account always results in above error. Using pidgin 2.10.11 on windows 7 64-bit

Does not build on CentOS 6

checking for GLIB... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.32.0) were not met:

Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.32.0' but version of GLib is 2.28.8

No notifications in closed groupchat

It would be nice, if groupchat message appears even when groupchat window is closed. I'm using finch with compiled fb plugin and when I close groupchat window, no message to groupchat arrive and I must use web iface to look, what others wrote.

Plugin TODO

The TODO has been completed. Please open new issues.

Invalid HTTP response code (401)

Segfault when one tries to "Initiate Chat"

Pidgin segfaults when one tries to start a new group chat. The back trace is here:
http://pastebin.com/RtaEyAbN

Doubble quoutes " are seen as &quot;

Sent Just "testing" a thing. and the person received the message as Just "testing" a thing.

Seems to only affect double quotes.

How do I build this?

Hey jgeboski,
I tried building this, but it failed. I have no idea what's going on.

I really like your work. I would totally buy you a beer if I ever see you in real life.
Thanks,
